I think many of those old Kurosawa films are just rip offs of many 1890s John Sturges films
Wow this is astonishingly wrong. You maybe meant John Ford who was a huge influence on Kurosawa, but he wasnโt even born until 1894 and motion pictures were not really a thing yet at that time, Trip to the Moon is 1905
Trip to the Moon can't have come out in 1905 because Wright Brothers hadn't invented NASA yet.
Right. The John Sturges that was born in 1910 was directing films in 1890, twenty years before his birth, and also pioneered color and sound films several decades prior to their patents. Cool.
You're not a very effective or amusing troll.
Finally!
Do have any idea how hard it is to make shitty joke, and then for people to take you seriously, and so you commit more to it and dig deeper with wilder and more outlandish statements, hoping that someone - anyone - would realise the farce.... only for time to tick on, and it dawns on you that people took you at face value, and that you will forever be labeled as an idiot and not as a joker.
You have redeemed my faith in others good sir, and I wholeheartedly concede that this was all nothing but a fools gambit contrived by a bored giggling moron one lazy afternoon.
